Realm Links

Post by rclake1963

I was wondering if anyone knows what realm is going to be linked with Stormrage, and when.Where would I find this information? Thanks. US EST.edit - so if Blizzard releases this information as they go along, there must be a way to find out what realms are going to be linked before that happens. They have no reason to keep it a secret. The reason why I want to find this out is because I have 7 Horde characters on Stormrage that I want to move to Area 52 ASAP!

They announce it as they do it.

I think it is funny that you fail to see any reason why they would want to keep it a secret when you are doing exactly the thing that could be a reason why they don't announce them way in advance. People moving willy nilly. If they make a decision to connect 2 realms and then a large enough percent of the population decides to move prior to that, it throws off the numbers.

And I am not sure what the connection is between Stormrage and you thinking that they are going to connect it with anyone. It is unlikely that EITHER of those realms will be part of the deal even though they would make a very balanced realm.

I know that Tichondrius which has a relatively even mix (by comparison) at over 100k Ally to 140k Horde and queue times to get into the server are very commonly over an hour. Combining Stormrage with Area 52 (if that is what you are hoping) would make that even worse.

Again, not sure what the Area 52 connection is for you as even if they connected those two realms you would still have to pay to actually move your 7 horde over there.

If they connected Stormrage and Area 52 then rclake1963 wouldn't have to pay to move any toons as they would appear as if they were already on the same realm.

Slightly Off-Topic

The thing I'm hoping is that they connect every realm with at least 1 other. Everyone pays the same amount of money to access the same content but with connectionless realms that won't be quite true.

Player A and Player B both have a full set of heirlooms, they both have 11 toons on their current server.Player A's realm gets connected while Player B's doesn't. In this situation player A can create 11 more new toons and use their heirlooms, join the same guild that they are already in etc, while Player B is stuck with either making no more toons or completely starting over on a new server.

Indeed. Connected realms have an advantage with the number of toons you can have in 'essentially' a single realm. That's an advantage of being there, and a good carrot for hopefully some to transfer to, off ones that don't get connected.

As a matter of fact... There are usually more ally In org at any given time than there are horde

Not trying to burst anyones bubble here, but just looking at the population numbers of these two servers, there is no way the 8th most populous server is getting merged with the 25th. That's just not going to happen, sorry.

Just for reference, my home server Dark Iron is number 158 out of 247 and was connected to Dalvengyr, number 234. Combined we now have about 4,500 players on our realm. That's the connections that are getting made, dead and dying realms to other dead realms. They aren't connecting super servers with 17,000 players to other semi-super servers with 10,000 players.
